Recently governments in different countries are stepping up smoking control and smoking ban alongside education and awareness of the negative effects of smoking on health. In this lesson, we learn about the challenges of smoking control in China, in particular Xian. We use the Chinese idiom 任重道远 to mean that although smoking control measures have been introduced, it is a “long way to go” to be fully adopted.
